Buy the new MadCatz Street Fighter IV Fightpad. All are common ground, and the triggers are already digital, no messing around with analog. Also, the contacts are gold, so you don't have anything to scrape.

About a week ago I picked up a modded XBOX Classic (NOT 360) loaded with a pile of emu's and such. One of the emu's is CoinOPS showroom X. The thought of playing these with the old XBOX controller kills, so I've been searching for arcade sticks that are XBOX compatible. No dice, next thing I thought of was hacking an XBOX controller and hooking it up to an IPAC, stick, and buttons that I had laying around from an old arcade project I never finished. This is how I stumbled onto this thread.

Will I be able to use an 8 way control stick + IPAC + your XBOX controller hack to hook this up to the XBOX? I read elsewhere that there was something that prevented the XBOX from being able to reproduce control pad motions faithfully. Possibly the difference in throw from the XBOX controller and 8-way stick? Hope that isn't confusing.

If the above will work fine, do you see any issues with wiring a dedicated 4 way stick alongside the 8 way in this setup?

I'm building a MAME cab. Currently running a 360 controller on the PC...So if I send you a couple of these 360 controllers, the dongles you send back attached to the controller will hook into my arcade control sticks and buttons? Is that the deal? I'm sorry...New to this stuff.

Yes. I connect the controllers to terminal strips, which you then connect to your controls.

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to HaRuMaN for the excellent work he did on the two dreamcast hack pads. I ordered them and in less then one week they arrived, the package was extremely well protected and the soldering job was excellent. He even glued over the solder connections to protect them from breaking off the pad. In my opinion he went above and beyond by making sure the connections were all labeled making it easy to connect the wires from my jamma fingerboard to the controller connections. Now I can finally get my shmupping on in my Blast City! Once again thanks HaRuMaN!!!!

Haruman, Give me a price for a hacked controller for and original xbox. Need the thumbsticks hacked to click also for emulators. Working on trying to build a bartop arcade. Also you provide the controller. I have no spares and you know what works the best.

Ummmm the dress making comment was in regards to the 20+ spam posts advertising for dresses. Now that they are deleted, my post looks a little lame, it wasn't meant to be derogatory to ya

Anyhow I've got some heavily used wireless 360 controller's with the analog sticks worn out (permanency returning to down , not centered) and sticky buttons. That shouldn't matter at all, would it?- Thanks.

Haruman, I need a price for two hacked controllers for an original xbox. Need the thumbsticks hacked to click also for emulators. Shoot me a price for two controllers supplied and hacked by you and give me a price for the hack if I supply the controllers to you. First time posting here, great forum for the DIYers.
